Lyric Video: https://youtu.be/fF8AYgmogms

Song: Can’t Quit The Blues by Kevin & JD (Blues rock from Canada)

From our latest album entitled Blues Truckin’. You can stream it everywhere.
We generally use all background instruments from BIAB:
- rhythm guitars, keys/piano, harp, strings, pedal steel, etc.
Usually swap out the drums (But now with BIAB drum stems, looking fwd to trying those).

All guitar solos by Kevin (left) & JD (right). Bass by Kevin, and vocals by JD.
Always mixed & mastered in Pro Tools by JD Oppen in Ontario, Canada www.thundersoundstudio.ca

We have been using BIAB ever since our 2nd album.
Will post more. Hope ya’s like it.

Cheers! JD

JD,
Nice power blues. Very good vocals and ace played solo parts. Drums are sound hot it places, but I guess that is how you wanted them. Clear mix & listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi guys, nice guitar work! I thought the intro was a little long before the vocals came in - though that gave more time to listen to those guitars. Sounded like you were having some fun here. I also thought the drums were a bit loud in places, but then I have a tendency to mix them too low on my stuff. Keep 'em comin'!

Thanks all, glad ya's like the tune. Yes, definitely was a blast playing & recording, and using BIAB to help write tunes. As to some of the comments, we do tend to have some longer intros & solo passages. We mostly record to play solos, LOL. As for drums sometimes being a bit dominant, yeah... I played & toured in a metal band for over a decade - some habits are hard to shake. My main band is also a much heavier blues band. So, I sometimes mix or master a little heavy. As well, I still mix & master hard rock & metal bands. It generally fits our blues-rock style, so it's usually on purpose... but I will admit the drums are a little busy in some spots & so they kinda pop out a bit. My drummer doesn't listen very well, hahaha.

I noticed this today. not sure why. Already reached out to a moderator to see if they can change my link because I can no longer edit this post. The video is still on YouTube HERE: https://youtu.be/fF8AYgmogms

Hopefully we get the original post fixed up. Thanks.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
